Was Caesar the bishop theat time abi why use that analogy now? Give unto Caesar what is Caesar - Government tax and to God what is God's - offering and praise worship. Don't quote out of context.

As a Christian you tithe so that things won't be tight for you. No matter how small. It is apart from your gifting the poor.

PRESIDENT TINUBU SIGNS NIMC ACT 2026 INTO LAW, AS MINISTER REVEALS THE ARREST OF TERRORISTS WITH NIMC DATABASE
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Friday signed the 2026 National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) Act into law, marking a significant milestone in Nigeria’s efforts to modernise identity management, enhance national security, improve public service delivery, and deepen the nation’s digital economy.

The signing took place at the State House, Abuja, in the presence of the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, and the House Leader, Julius Ihonvbere.

The Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Prince Lateef Fagbemi; the Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo; the representative of the World Bank, Taimur Samad; and the Director-General of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), Dr Abisoye Coker-Odusote, witnessed the signing.

The Minister of Interior Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, described the signing of the Act as a landmark achievement amid ongoing reforms aimed at strengthening internal security and improving access to government services.

He revealed that the existing network of databases was used in the arrest of some terrorists returning to Nigeria from the Holy Pilgrimage last week.

“Let me sincerely thank Mr President, the last time we had a NIMC programme, I referred to Mr President as the Grand Innovator of the Federal Republic. I wasn’t kidding. With this law, our security architecture can be enhanced.

“When Mr President came on board, we had a disconnected system within our identity data management system. At that time, getting a passport and getting a driving permit were completely disconnected from our identity database. But today, you can’t get a Nigerian passport without pulling data from NIMC,” Tunji-Ojo said.

According to the Minister, the new law will accelerate the harmonisation of identity databases, enhance the integrity of the National Identity Number (NIN) system, improve inter-agency collaboration, and strengthen Nigeria’s capacity to combat identity theft, terrorism, financial crimes and other security threats.

“What you have in immigration is what you have in the NIMC database, and let me say this clearly, that it has even helped our border control process. I know, sometime ago, the Senate President was alarmed by how some terrorists went on pilgrimage, wondering how they crossed our borders. We inherited a fractured system. But I’m happy to tell you that even last week, Thursday, seven of the known commanders of Boko Haram and ISWAP at the point of coming back from Mecca were arrested in Katsina at the airport and were handed over to the DSS.

“This is only possible because NIMC’s ID is already connected with the immigration database, and it’s already speaking to even the Interpol 24/7, and we have been able to automate this,” the Minister said.

The Senate President welcomed the presidential assent, noting that the Act reflects the National Assembly’s commitment to enacting laws that address Nigeria’s evolving security and developmental needs.

Akpabio expressed confidence that the legislation would strengthen public confidence in the country’s identity management architecture.

He also attributed the new NIMC law to President Tinubu`s innovation and reform agenda in Nigeria`s National Identity Management System.

According to Akpabio, the new legislation aligns with the President`s promise to transform Nigeria during his tenure.

The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, commended the President for assenting to the new NIMC law, describing it as a transformative reform that will improve governance, promote accountability and support national development through a credible identity management system.

“The world is aware that the NIMC Act of 2007 was obsolete, and they have been monitoring that an effort was being made towards retooling, redefining, and re-equipping that piece of legislation to become what is fit for purpose, considering our current realities, and they were waiting to hear from us when it is going to become an instrument that we will use in building our nation.

“ Mr President, today marks a historic milestone in Nigeria’s digital transformation. It reflects the Federal Government’s bold commitment to building a robust, trusted and inclusive identity ecosystem, which is something that the President has taken seriously and also to better the lot of Nigerians,” he said.

On her part, the Director-General of NIMC reaffirmed the Commission’s commitment to implementing the provisions of the Act in collaboration with relevant government institutions, development partners and the private sector to deliver a world-class digital identity system, describing the new law as a major boost to the Commission’s mandate.

“Mr President, your visionary leadership and unwavering commitment to digital transformation have once again positioned Nigeria for a future driven by innovation, trust and inclusion. This landmark legislation is not just an amendment to an existing law; it is a bold leap into the future. For 19 years, the legal framework governing Nigeria’s identity management system remained unchanged while the digital landscape evolved rapidly.

“Today, that gap has been closed. The NIMC Act 2026 establishes a modern legal framework that further strengthens Nigeria’s digital public infrastructure, laying the foundation for trusted identity and seamless access to government and private-sector services. It reinforces the National Identification Number as the cornerstone of identity verification and authentication nationwide. The Act also introduces critical innovations that respond to the realities of today’s digital world,” she said.

All or most workers have bank accounts, why transition into something that isn't fully understood or adopted for transactions? The resultant effect would similar to what happened with the change of currency design attempt. These people don't seem to learn. Give the workers the option to select how they want to be paid and if you want them to use the eNaira option sell it to them with incentives to motivate them to use it. Don't force them. No one forces the use of crypto on another.

What type of letter?

HollyMadison:
Hello all, please I need a letter from the Nigerian High Commission in London. Please who knows how I can go about it, Can I just go there and ask for the letter?

Very good move. These same people supported Tinubu. Excellent

Are you transitioning from one SOC to another with a different employer? That might be the reason for their being unable to sponsor

Grace321:
Please help me out. I got this email from a job I applied for. I got my first COS before April 2024 which I believe enables me to transition. Going through gov.uk website, I qualify for the lower going rate for the job. The job salary is more than the lower going rate but in their email they said it’s not high enough (which I don’t understand) and can only sponsor via new entrant, in which I do not meet the requirements.

Please see below email
“You have been verbally offered the above role and, as you are currently on a Sponsored Visa with your employer, you will need new Sponsorship with the Trust.
 
The role you have been offered comes under Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) Code 3111 Laboratory technicians.
 
This is a Medium Skilled role and, as the Trust do not require 3 years’ experience, we are only able to Sponsor this role as it is on the Temporary Shortage List.  The salary required to Sponsor means that we can also only Sponsor someone who is eligible to apply as a New Entrant, as otherwise the Band 3 Salary is not high enough to Sponsor”.
 
Please how can I go about this?

Thank you

The bolded - Not sure that is correct, the reason for allowing 20hrs a week work for students is to enable them earn for part of their upkeep and not primarily to pay their fees. Their fees are meant to have been covered by the proof of funds which also includes for their upkeep and that of their dependents.

Goke7:
Are you sure? There is a reason why students are allowed to work 20 hours a week and full time when on holidays, some of these things were actually factored in including allowing dependents or spouses to work full time until recently but still PhD and research students spouses can still work full time.

These things are not as straightforward as we think, the western world financial system is a credit based system and where flexible payments are allowed this is the credit they are also extending to international students just like they allow domestic students to get loans to pay up sch fees and for up keep expenses. The shift in policy now is all related to the current mood and national discourse and has nothing to do with principles even financial principles and of course in due time we will see a shift again when in reality it will no longer make financial sense for the schools themselves but this idea that uk education is a luxury and not a necessity cannot hold as education remains one of the major export and forex earner for this country and they still need to compete globally if we don’t want to see more job losses and economic damage.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Na so. March man of the year

There's no miracle there. The Fx issue was cause by over importation of petrol. With Dangote's refinery coming on stream, that reduced the dependency on imported petrol.

DeLaRue:
Some on Nairaland even say Cardoso knows nothing and that he's only CBN Governor be ause he is Yoruba. You just have to shake your head.

Recently, Mr Otedola said Mr Cardoso is the best CBN Governor in Nigeria's history. I have been saying that here on Nairaland for the best part of a year.

Now, Mr Elemelu is singing a similar chorus.

Many African Central Bank Governors are rushing to learn the mini miracle that the Nigerian CBN has performed in the past 2 years.

If you give me the option of Mr Cardoso, Mr Sanusi, and Mr Soludo,I will pick Mr Cardoso without blinking an eye because an unsung general who has led an army in a near-calamitous war, and won, is better than a flamboyant general who talks a good game but has never been to any war.

Na so, time to rake in more tax 😃

Na wey person no go trademark him name 'VeryDarkMan' na shei we all want to move mad 😃

alphonsoolajide:
Controversial social media activist VeryDarkMan (VDM) has sparked fresh controversy online after claiming ownership of the popular phrase “Don’t Play,” alleging that it has been legally trademarked under his name.

The claim surfaced amid his ongoing online feud with music superstar Wizkid, following debates surrounding the singer’s statement about being “bigger than Fela.” Eyes Of Lagos reports,

In a video currently circulating on social media, VeryDarkMan alleged that Wizkid used the phrase without permission, insisting that people often misunderstand what constitutes intellectual property.

According to him, not only music but also words and phrases can be legally sampled when trademarked.

“Na me get am. I spent close to one million naira to trademark my name and that phrase,” he said, displaying what he claimed were documents backing his ownership.

He further stated that his trademarks include “VeryDarkMan,” “VDM,” and the phrase “Don’t Play,” adding that Wizkid allegedly sampled the phrase without authorisation.

While speaking, VDM also mentioned that other Nigerian artistes, including Kizz Daniel, have used the phrase, which he described as proof of its widespread influence.

“For you to know how big ‘Don’t Play’ is, even Kizz Daniel don use am,” he said.

The activist did not stop at the allegation, as he also took aim at Wizkid’s fanbase, popularly known as Wizkid FC.

He dismissed attacks from fans and challenged them to grow stronger before confronting him, while boasting about the influence of the Ratel movement, which he described as a community of “nation builders.”

“Wizkid FC, make una join the fanbase of other celebrities wey I don call out before. When una don big well well, then una fit come for me,” he stated.

He added that Wizkid’s supporters were no match for the Ratel movement, insisting that his followers stood for accountability and social justice.

VDM’s claims have triggered mixed reactions online, with some users questioning the legality of trademarking common phrases, while others called for Wizkid or his management to respond to the allegation.

As of the time of filing this report, Wizkid and his team have not issued any official response to VeryDarkMan’s claims.
